The first flowers I bought for my balcony garden were Pansies; purple, maroon, yellow and orange in color.
Of course, they are adorable looking flowers because they look like little human faces and they remind me of those singing Pansies in "Alice and Wonderland", but they didn't mean much more than that to me when I got them. First, I planted them in a planter box that was far to small for their wild ways (they can grow to be 9 inches tall and their flowers can get to be 2 inches in diameter) and all their buds went dormant; so my girlfriend Whitney and I moved their long leafy stems to a huge pot we found outside. After several weeks of thinking they were just completely dead the flowers started to bloom again. With their new and improved home the pansies were going nuts, they became a wild creature of their own and I fell in love with them.
When the heavy winds and Santa Cruz storms came in (as they have today) I got very nervous for these petite, delicate flowers; thinking the color of my garden would get swept away and lost forever. Yet they've withstood every harsh weather condition thus far. They intrigue me for this very reason, hardiness; so I started on some research. When researching a topic I first want to know it's formal definition. Here it is from Merriam-Webster.
1) Pansy: a garden plant (Viola wittrockiana) derived chiefly from the hybridization of the European Johnny-jump-up (Viola tricolor) with other wild violets; also : its flower
simple enough.
2) Pansy: usually disparaging: A weak or effeminate man or boy or, a male homosexual.
Not so simple to me. I've know about the connection between the term Pansy and it's slur undertones for a many years, but I never thought about it before. I learned that 'Pansy' is derived from the French word 'Pansee' which means 'thought' and in Italy the name "Flammola" was given to the Pansy meaning "little Flame". (That information I got from Wiki, so don't quote me on it.) The flower has been associated with the human face and manner for a long time so I was eager to find some connection between the slur and the biological meanings. This task turned out to be a bit of a flop and I'm still left as curious as ever, but I thought I would share the minimal, furthest to date information I stumbled upon. In the early 1930's New York's fabulous gay, straight, you name it, would gather together in post-prohibition nightclubs to enjoy the featured gay entertainment; this era was called the "Pansy Craze" (Gay LA: A history of Sexual Outlaws, Power Politics and Lipstick Lesbians, by Lillian Faderman and Stuart Timmons.) Say what? Why was it called that?… Anyone?
Beyond that, I'm seriously stumped. I'm missing the historical link between an effeminate man and this flower that can withstand harsh climates, death, life, and death again, and on that note be crystallized and eaten for my very own pleasure. Let me know what you think.
Ok, that was all a side note, here's the other cool thing I did. Crystallized my Pansies.
Then, you say goodbye to your Pansy.
Next, you rinse with water, dry, and paint your flower with whipped egg whites.
And Eat! Pansies are awesome, I think I'll reclaim the word.

* Apparently.
Janet Albrechtsen performs some pretty impressive mental gymnastics in her column in The Australian: A tale of two standards. And by impressive, I mean intellectually dishonest.
Albrechtsen ridicules feminists because Sex and The City 2 is about shopping – and ridicules feminists because the first movie was better than the second – and then blames feminists for a woman being stoned to death in a village in Iran in 1986:
Left-liberal critics have derided The Stoning of Soraya M as a message movie. Too close to "lurid torture porn", Stephen Holden wrote in The New York Times. Local echo Tim Elliott at The Sydney Morning Herald dismissed the film as a predictable message movie where the men are "leering archetypes of Islamic patriarchy".
So, two male journos don't like the film and feminists are to blame? Where would you be, Janet, without feminism? Handwashing your husband's undies, no doubt.
This is the ugly result when political correctness and cultural relativism meet movie critic. Their Goldilocks critique goes something like this: if you're Al Gore talking about climate change or Michael Moore dumping on capitalism, then your message is just right. But a movie with a message about Islam being co-opted by men to denigrate, violate and kill women is, yawn, just too much message. "I know stoning is bad, but I want a movie about it, not a sermon," Elliott wrote.
Um, Janet? Why don't you direct your frowning displeasure at the two journos who wrote the things you disagree with? Not feminism.
Unless you're a movie critic trapped in the mindset where it's only acceptable to make stark judgments about Western culture. In which case, you get a little queasy about a movie that speaks with moral certainty about the evils of Islam being used to stone women to death.
Damn straight. But not the very next bit:
And while Western feminists navel gaze about their latest work-life imbalances and play games to decide whether they are more like Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda, Islamic feminists have other things on their agenda.
Oh, for fuck's sake.

Irishman in Venice gets mad about Kiwi school!
Posted by BE on September 21st, 2012
It's a beautiful day in Venice and the last thing I want to be doing is getting het up over some school in Northland whose Principal and Board of Trustees really should have chosen a calling more suited to their intellectual and pedagogical fitness such as drain-laying or running a borstal.
The school is Pompallier Catholic College whose credo appears to be that education is all about discouraging both their teachers and pupils from thinking for themselves and, more importantly, from challenging authority.
The authority in this case was the school's Principal, one Richard Stanton, who wrote comments in the school newsletter opposing the Marriage Amendment Bill. Fair enough, he's entitled to his view.
However, some of his pupils disagreed and set up a Facebook page "Support Gay Rights at Pom". Goodonya!
There's a science teacher at the school called Nigel Studdart. The Principal describes his teaching as "innovative and engaging". He's highly regarded by his students. Not the sort of bloke you'd want to lose then.
But Mr Studdart has a fatal flaw as a teacher: he thinks for himself and speaks his mind. At Pompalier only the Principal is apparently allowed to do that.
So when Mr Studdart supported the students' Facebook protest against what the Principal had written, he was sacked. Pour encourager les autres, no doubt! Got to nip this free speech nonsense in the bud early, don't you? Who knows where it could lead?
If I had a kid at Pompallier Catholic College – an unlikely scenario, I agree, for a Protestant atheist – I'd have him or her out of there tomorrow. You see, schools are about teaching kids to think and challenge. And good schools have teachers who are role models for thinking and challenging. The message the Principal and Board of Trustees have given the children at this school is that thinking and challenging doesn't pay; it can even get you fired. Better to go along with authority. Better to conform.
As for Mr Studdart, I hope he takes them to the cleaners. And then finds a school worthy of his talents. His crime, by the way, was encouraging the kids to breach the school's uniform code by wearing rainbow wristbands. Now that's justice worthy of Henry VIII.

I read a lot of blogs. It could almost be called an addiction. I read everything from stitching to feminist to liberal politics.
I was reading today that Women's Autonomy and Sexual Sovereignty Movements is hosting the Carnival of Feminists. I enjoy reading the carnival, and briefly considered submitting the sociology paper for it.
But that started me thinking. It is never good when I start thinking. Am I a feminist? What defines a feminist?
I know I am a humanist. I care deeply about people. I also know that I am quite happy being a domestic mother, cleaning house and raising children (Although I wish I got paid for that). I love men. I will say that again- I love men! I often take a more submissive role in a relationship.
I think a lot of my feminism is tied around motherhood and the inequalities I see there. As I read the books for my sociology paper, I found myself vehemently disagreeing with them sometimes. I am a fan of attachment parenting- these books were not.
If given the choice, I would stay home and raise my children.... and a whole bunch of other children as well. In fact, I want to become a professional foster parent just so the system can mistreat me for a whole bunch more years.
Am I a feminist? I really don't know. What I do know is that the American family has to radically change, because what is currently happening is not sustainable nor healthy. If that makes me a feminist, then I guess I am one.

Survey of the Golden State
Agriculture and Fishing
For the first few decades of the 20th century California led all states in petroleum production. The discovery of such fields as Huntington Beach and Signal Hill (Long Beach) in the 1920s boosted the industry's stature. Many of the reserves were rapidly depleted, but petroleum continues to be the state's most valuable mineral. The petroleum fields lie in three basins: the San Joaquin, the Los Angeles–Orange, and the Ventura–Santa Barbara. California also ranks among the…

Compared with patients with a standard transfer deadline deals based clinic dapoxetine fda.
The risk of recurrent stroke in the first few days after a minor stroke or TIA is about 8-10 percent. The first part of of the EXPRESS study in October 2007 reported that urgent assessment and immediate treatment at a specialist clinic reduces the risk of recurrent stroke within the first 90 days by 80 percent, compared with patients with a standard transfer deadline deals based clinic . This second paper aimed to compare the effects of phase 2 versus phase 1 regarding hospitalizations, costs and disability at 6 months dapoxetine fda .
The authors found that the phase 2 patients was a lower 90-day risk of fatal or disabling stroke – this in only 1 of 281 of phase 2 patients compared with 16 of 310 in phase 1 had. Hospital admissions in phase 2 were much lower than in phase 1 . Hospital bed days used due to stroke and other cardiovascular causes were also significantly lower in the phase 2 as phase one . This creates average savings of? 624 per patient based on the two phase clinic. – Conclude the authors: In Britain, the majority of patients with TIA or minor stroke are at weekly clinics after referral by a primary-care doctor manages This system results in approximately half of patients waiting more than 14 days evaluated and. Cared for, but during that time the risk of recurrent stroke is highest. By about 80 percent study showed that urgent assessment of TIA and minor stroke reduced combined with early initiation of preventive treatment, the risk of early recurrent stroke by about 80 percent. Analysis shows that analysis shows that in patients after the EXPRESS study clinic, there were also reductions in fatal or disabling recurrent stroke, 90-day hospital bed – day costs of hospitalization, and general disability levels following after 6 months ' – up.

Security has been one of the pressure points for many companies when it comes to data management in modern markets, especially as breach, theft and exposure have led to significant economic losses in 2013. However, information governance is far more than a simple matter of protection, and instead transcends into general strategy, analysis and legal defense.
Data discovery is one of the main emerging trends in corporate computing and IT management, as litigation proceedings continue to have more digital connotations. Decision-makers must ensure that their information governance approaches are executed in earnest, and that the general strategy enables more fluid reconciliation of electronic discovery requests.
CIOs awaken to discovery
IDG News Service recently reported that Gartner is predicting that business intelligence vendors will begin to more aggressively tackle data discovery and management in the coming years, and that companies will also become more interested in solutions that can help overcome some of the challenges of litigation proceedings. With the rapidly expanding number of organizations that collect and store digitized information, more progressive management solutions will be needed to maintain and progress the status quo.
According to the news provider, Gartner believes that all different types of instrumentation that generate or gather data will be targeted by the most advanced business intelligence solutions. While this aspect of data management is increasingly critical, organizations will need to integrate policies that relate back to disaster recovery and continuous information protection.
Furthermore, the source noted that Gartner is calling for a dramatic shift away from IT-centric data management solutions and toward business-user-centric ones. For example, the new models of both development and utilization will be far more structured and governed than those of the past.
Better management, fewer risks
Organizations that leverage more advanced management strategies and technologies will often be the most successful in avoiding threats to corporate continuity. The costs of electronic discovery proceedings, as well as those related to privacy protection failures and data breaches, continue to rise, and can serve a business a devastating blow when it is not prepared.
Online backup is one of the best ways to ensure that data is protected from outages and loss, and that it can be quickly accessed during a litigation proceeding. By coupling these solutions with comprehensive and customized data management policies, businesses will be better positioned to avoid risks and capitalize on information analysis in the coming years.

In 1990, the WWF was the biggest thing in my life that I wasn't related to. This culminated with Wrestlemania VI, when my hero (seriously) Hulk Hogan went up against The Ultimate Warrior. It was at the Skydome. In the days leading up to the big event, I'd wake up at an ungodly hour and bike out to the end of our street to buy a newspaper. (They were covering the event like it was the Superbowl.) Was I actually there? Of course. It was my friend John's birthday and his father rented a luxury suite. For the next four hours people ate, played games and opened presents. Not me. I sat – by myself – with tunnel vision out towards the ring, clutching a Hulkamania bandana. I cried.
21 years later…
I've been waking up early (same); scouring google for reviews (instead of looking for the paper) and feeling a general bonery sensation. There will be plenty of premieres (hopefully), but this is my first time and it'll probably be over before I even know what happened. (You know… just like…) Thankfully, I've learned my seclusionary (not a word) lesson and will be surrounding my television with friends Sunday for the east coast feed. Then it's off to an official viewing party to watch it again. Then I'm going to The Piano Bar and singing songs. Then I'm going to come home. (And watch it again.) I don't think there's a "Hulk losing" element in play unless HBO has CGI'ed Jesse Metcalfe's head onto my body. We'll see.
If you've ever read or if you're going to watch. Thanks.

Sylvester Stallone Will Root For Conor McGregor: 'He's The Real Life Rocky'
When Conor McGregor takes on Floyd Mayweather in one of the biggest events in boxing history, he'll have the support of the 'Italian Stallion.' Sylvester Stallone is Team Connor, saying the 'Notorious' fighter is the true 'Rocky Balboa.'
When it comes to boxing endorsements, it doesn't get any bigger than Sylvester Stallone. After the news broke that the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr., 39, and Conor McGregor, 28, was actually going to happen, the 70-year-old Hollywood icon synonymous with boxing made his pick. "I always have the underdog [in a fight]," he said, according to TMZ, after throwing his support behind the "Notorious" MMA fighter. Sly even said that Conor is the "real life" Rocky Balboa!
"Then again, I live in fantasy," he said with a wink, joking that even he knows that Conor has an uphill battle. Or, perhaps Sly was remembering how the 1976 Rocky ended. Spoiler Alert – the fictional Rocky Balboa, the underdog, fails to defeat Apollo Creed (played by Carl Weathers, 69) after fifteen rounds. Granted, the moral victory went to Rocky, after the vastly inexperienced boxer survived the whole match without getting KO'd. The Aug. 26 match between Conor and Floyd is set for 12 rounds, so if McGregor can go the distance, he may just very well be the real-life Rocky.
Granted – Spoiler Alert – the "Italian Stallion" does defeat Apollo Creed in Rocky II, but the likelihood of a Conor-Mayweather rematch seems pretty slim. Floyd, despite being retired for nearly two years, is still considered the overwhelming favorite in this match. If he secures a victory over Conor, Floyd will surpass Rocky Marciano for the best record in boxing. Right now, both Floyd and Rocky are tied at 49-0. When asked about what he thinks of Floyd beating the "real life" Rocky's record, Sly said that the man called "Money" is "going to get hurt."
Not everyone is thrilled to see a real life version of Rocky Vs. Apollo play out in Las Vegas. "Floyd's and Conor's motivation is clear. It's money," legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya, 44, said, blasting Floyd and the MMA star in a scathing blog post, per USA Today. "But it's also a lack of consequences for when the fight ends up being the disaster that is predicted. After this fight, neither of them will need us anymore. Floyd will go back to retirement — presumably for good this time with another nine-figure paycheck — and Conor will go back to the UFC. It's a win-win for them. It's a lose-lose for us."
Who do you think will win the in McGregor-Mayweather fight, HollywoodLifers?

Ana Laíns with Pedro Galveias: Traditional Portuguese Fado Music
World Music SeriesOctober 16, 2015 | 8:00 PM Kilbourn Hall
- Tickets:
- General public: $15
- UR Faculty/Staff/Students: $13
This October, Portuguese fado singer Ana Laíns will be leading her first US tour, joined by special guest Pedro Galveias, with concert dates, workshops and other appearances scheduled in New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The tour follows closely on Ana's one-year tenure as the international ambassador of the Portuguese language. Ana Laíns' music spans the full depth and breadth of Portuguese fado music, an art form recently recognized by UNESCO for its profound importance to world culture. Ana's music has achieved wide critical and artistic acclaim, as well as various prizes (including best young female singer in Lisbon's Grande Noite de Fado (Grand Night of the Fado), the country's top fado competition). She has released two CDs (Sentidos and Quatro Caminhos) and performed extensively both within and outside Portugal.
Ana is joined on this tour by the singer Pedro Galveias, one of the most established and storied voices of Lisbon's underground fado scene. Pedro has released two CDs and was twice a winner in the category of best male singer in Lisbon's Grande Noite de Fado. Accompanying the singer are two master musicians, Sandro Costa (on the Portuguese guitar) and Tô Neto (on the classical guitar), both of whom have performed widely at all levels of the fado, from Lisbon's hidden taverns to the worldwide stage.
Together, the music of this group spans traditional and contemporary expressions of Portuguese fado, with stories of heartache, joy and longing conjuring images of Portugal's centuries-old history and of our shared human condition.
As part of the tour, the group will be holding university workshops, school visits, and other activities to introduce a wide range of people to fado music in particular and to Portuguese culture in general. The tour is organized by Portuguese/American Cultural Exchange, Inc. (PACE) a Massachusetts not-for-profit whose mission is to bridge US and Portuguese cultures through the fado. The tour follows previous highly successful PACE programs, including tours by Ricardo Ribeiro, Rodrigo Costa Félix and Duarte Coxo, with extensive participation from US-based fado performers.
The World Music Series is sponsored by a generous gift from Barbara B. Smith.

First of all, I cannot express enough how much we Fly girls LOVE camping. We were raised on outdoor adventure and can't help but have it in our blood. Choosing to celebrate our 26th birthday this year by road tripping up the California Coast was the best idea yet. There was something so liberating about camping with just us three girls, no husbands, no babies, no schedules. Just three sisters and the open road. What an amazing trip it was where so many fun memories were made. We stayed up late reading out loud to each other under the stars. We giggled around the campfire while stuffing our faces with yummy food. We camped above the clouds at a place we will literally never forget. We even met some overly friendly locals that had us feeling good about ourselves, makeup-less and all. Big Sur offers the perfect balance between mountains and ocean with views that will have you stopping for photos at every vista you can find. More on our camping trip to come :)

Then tie it to the directive, and don't disable it by default. Having to deal with this in two places makes no sense. That's what I'm vetoing. Although I'm opposed to it, I haven't vetoed the directive itself. Having the option to turn it off is at least a compromise. I tend to think that by even having the option we are giving some hope to an administrator that by turning off the verions he is somehow protecting himself. > Simply by principle of least astonishment, the default should be the > most restrictive, so that people who decide to be the most restrictive > won't have to go changing things. I don't know what you mean by restrictive. Apache should be safe to run with the default configurations.

Universal wants you to say hello to their little friend again.
Deadline reports that the studio is developing a new Scarface movie via Martin Bregman, producer of the 1983 remake of the 1932 gangster classic, and Marc Shmuger.
"The film is not intended to be a remake or a sequel. It will take the common elements of the first two films: an outsider, an immigrant, barges his way into the criminal establishment in pursuit of a twisted version of the American dream, becoming a kingpin through a campaign of ruthlessness and violent ambition," according to the site. The studio is keeping the new Scarface's ethnic origins a secret.
What do you think of there being another Scarface? Sound off in the Comments below!

Magen David Adom
About MDA UK
The vital work of Magen David Adom in Israel is supported by a number of 'friends' groups around the world. For over 80 years, the Anglo-Jewish community has been raising funds and awareness in order that Magen David Adom continues to save more lives each day in Israel.
To find out more about MDA UK click here.
For details of our key projects click here.
For details of our board members click here.
Our Mission Statement
Unlike the UK, Israel has never had a Government run medical emergency and ambulance service. Instead, donors from around the world have always supported Magen David Adom, ensuring that the State is able to dedicate its own resources towards critical issues such as defence and security.
Its lifesaving work in Israel – continuing 24 hours round the clock, 365 days per year – is therefore funded by a combination of voluntary donations from Friends of Magen David Adom in 17 countries around the world and payment from patients and hospitals.
Magen David Adom provides its services to all, regardless of race, creed or ethnic affiliation. Magen David Adom's workforce is 90% volunteers working side by side for a common purpose – to save lives.
Magen David Adom UK plays a vital support role for Magen David Adom in Israel. Since its foundation in 1949, the British Friends have helped to fund a range of development projects including the building of new casualty stations, the supply of ambulances and specialist Mobile Intensive Care Units and supplying other vital medical supplies.
We need your help today and in perpetuity to help ensure that Magen David Adom will be able to respond to every call for help whenever it is needed.
"Whoever has saved one life has saved an entire world".
Please help save a life and donate today.
Thank you.

In my experience, people will avoid using moisturizer for two reasons:
1. They have oily skin and feel that it's not necessary.
2. They are afraid that moisturizer will give them acne blemishes.
I'm here to say that both of the above are NOT accurate.
Wearing moisturizer does not cause breakouts. Acne happens when the cells that line the inner pores fail to fall off properly, clogging the pore. This happens whether you moisturize or not.
Those with oily skin must use moisturizer—no matter what. This skin type doesn't need additional oil, but it needs water and conditioners to keep it healthy and balanced. See our oil-free moisturizers, Sheer Moisture, Skin Clarifying Gel, and Skin Recovery Lotion.
Did you know that NOT using a moisturizer would actually make your skin oilier? When your skin doesn't have the proper water levels, the dehydration causes the skin to produce oil giving you oilier skin—the last thing those with oily skin want! …
For those who are prone to acne breakouts, if you're using the correct oil-free moisturizer for your skin type (see our nine skin types), then you should not experience any break out activity.
There is an exception. I have found that clients who use moisturizers with the ingredients mineral oil and petrolatum can experience acne breakouts, so it's best to make sure those are avoided. Here's the full list of skin care ingredients to avoid.
It is also best to use a moisturizer with a sunscreen during the day. You'll love our lightweight, greaseless Daily Protection SPF 30 with a regular moisturizer at night.
Bottom line: For healthy, beautiful and glowing skin, moisturizer is a must—for all skin types!

The practice of defense contractors hiring retired generals has become so common as to have blurred the lines between the Pentagon and the defense industry, an investigative report by the Boston Globe has found.
According to the Globe's Bryan Bender, 80 percent of three- and four-star generals who retired between 2004 and 2008 went on to work in the defense industry, often in roles that require direct contact with the Pentagon. In 2007, it was almost a "clean sweep," with 90 percent of retiring generals heading almost immediately into the business.
The revolving door has become so entrenched that many successive generals responsible for a particular duty will be hired into the same roles at the same companies upon retirement, the report found, and many generals are hired to lobby the Pentagon on issues they were responsible for while still in uniform.
For most generals, "moving into what many in Washington call the 'rent-a-general' business is all but irresistible," Bender reports.
Retired General Robert "Doc'' Foglesong told the GLobe that the phenomenon is "changing the perception and maybe the reality of what it means to be a general. … "The fundamental question is whether this is shaping the acquisition system and influencing what the Pentagon buys. I think the answer is yes.'"
The investigative report found that:
■ Dozens of retired generals employed by defense firms maintain Pentagon advisory roles, giving them unparalleled levels of influence and access to inside information on Department of Defense procurement plans.
■ The generals are, in many cases, recruited for private sector roles well before they retire, raising questions about their independence and judgment while still in uniform. The Pentagon is aware and even supports this practice.
■ The feeder system from some commands to certain defense firms is so powerful that successive generations of commanders have been hired by the same firms or into the same field. For example, the last seven generals and admirals who worked as Department of Defense gatekeepers for international arms sales are now helping military contractors sell weapons and defense technology overseas.
■ When a general-turned-businessman arrives at the Pentagon, he is often treated with extraordinary deference — as if still in uniform — which can greatly increase his effectiveness as a rainmaker for industry. The military even has name for it — the "bobblehead effect.''
In a video interview (see below), Bender places the Association of the US Army at the center of this nexus of corporate and government influence. The AUSA describes itself as a "private, non-profit educational organization that supports America's Army," but Bender reports that it is "almost entirely funded by the defense industry."
Bender describes the group's annual exposition — which this year brought together 30,000 officers and industry players — as a "matchmaker, if you will, between retired officers and industry." He notes that, with 1,300 currently serving generals, the process of hiring retired officers into the defense industry is constant.
It's "like the NFL draft," he says.

Ciro Picariello 2013 Fiano di Avellino DOCG
Item Number: 8118
UPC: None
Country: Italy
Region: Campania
Sub Region: Campania
Appellation/AVA: Fiano di Avellino DOCG
Estate Grown Wine: Yes
Vintage: 2013
Grape(s): 100% Fiano
Type: Wine - White
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Pack: 12
Closure: Cork
Alc by Vol(%): 12.5
Viticulture: Practicing Organic
Soil Type: Clay, loam, and sandstone
Elevation: 1,600 to 2,100 feet
Case Production: 1,250
About Fiano di Avellino: Fiano di Avellino is one of Italy's best white wines, made from the Fiano variety near the town of Avellino in the region of Campania. This is high elevation Fiano (1,600 to 2,100 feet in elevation) - it reminds you that that southern Italy has some cool microclimates and can make whites as fresh as those from the north.
Winemaking Notes: Ciro Picariello practices very natural grape growing and winemaking, yet this wine is completely clean and expressive, which isn't always a given with natural winemaking. The Fiano is usually harvested in the second or third week of October. Grapes are pressed slowly and only the first press is used for the Fiano di Avellino. The wine is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel with native yeasts. Fermentation lasts for around 60 days. The gross lees are removed shortly before the fermentation finishes (the wine is allowed to go completely dry), then the wine is kept in tank on the fine lees until the end of the following summer, when it is bottled. Use of SO2 is minimal; the wine is not filtered or fined.
Tasting Notes: The wine shows vivid, distinctive aromas and flavors of almond, herbs, citrus, and an enticing smoky/struck flint character from volcanic soil. When young, Picariello's Fiano is lively, mineral and bracing, redolent of apple, white peach, honeysuckle, wet stone, sea salt and hazelnut, with a strong flinty character (part of his vineyards are in volcanic soil). This wine is age-worthy and will evolve over time showing similar bottle age characteristics as Loire Chenin Blanc.

We will show you how to make the best marijuana brownie with this recipe. When making 'marijuana edibles', DO NOT throw your medication into any recipe – this will not provide the essential levels of THC you need from your medication in order to help your condition. The THC (tetra-hydro-cannibol – the main active ingredient in marijuana) must first be extracted into a butter or oil mixture and then added or cooked with the food.
A well-known marijuana edible favorite amongst patients is without a doubt brownies. This article will show you how you can make weed brownies and extract the THC using butter or oil, however, most brownie recipes ask for oil instead of butter.
NOTE: You can make extra oil or butter and store it for later use. The oil does not need to be refrigerated and neither the butter nor the oil will lose any potency.
OIL Method — What You Need
1. Oil (any oil other than olive oil)
2. 2.5 grams of weed per serving (PLEASE NOTE: ask your doctor about what is recommended for your condition and use the appropriate strain)
3. A Grinder (available at any local dispensary, or online)
4. A Filter (a coffee filter or pasta strainer works fine)
5. Your favorite Brownie mix (made from scratch or boxed – your choice!)
6. A Frying pan
7. A Wooden spoon
For a whole batch of brownies (1 box) a half ounce to one ounce of marijuana is what you need based on your recommended dosage and potency. Grind up the marijuana in your grinder or a coffee grinder multiple times until it literally turns into powder.
Once the marijuana turns into a powder spread it right onto a frying pan. Its a good idea to match the frying pan to the burner size for an even cook, which is important when extracting the THC. Pour your oil directly onto the marijuana powder on the pan according to how much the brownie recipe asks for (you can add more if you plan on making extra for later use).
Turn the burner on low until it starts to simmer and then lower the burner to the lowest setting (labeled as low or simmer). Leave the burner on for 2-6 hours depending on how much time you have (2 hrs is average) and stir the marijuana in the oil every 30 minutes with a wooden spoon.
When the pot is done, pour the oil mixture into a filter (a coffee filter works best) to strain all the excess marijuana out. You should be left with a musky brown color oil without any grass, stems, or seeds in it. (This stuff needs to be filtered out as there is no THC left since it was extracted into the oil)
Use this oil to make the brownies (or cakes and other desserts) by following the instructions on the brownie box. If you prefer to make weed brownies using butter rather than oil, continue reading.
BUTTER Method — What You Need
1. Butter
2. 2.5 grams of marijuana per serving
3. A Grinder
4. A Filter (coffee filter, pasta strainer)
5. Brownie mix
6. A Small pot and a larger pot
7. A Wooden spoon
In order to use butter to extract the THC and bake brownies, two pots are required, one larger and one smaller. The larger one should be filled up with clean water and the same size as the burner for an even burn. Place the smaller pot inside the larger one and throw in 2-3 sticks of butter.
Turn the burner on a low setting until the water in the larger pot begins to simmer. Once this happens, use your judgment on a good setting, med — low, to establish a near simmer. Place your marijuana inside the smaller pot with the butter. The water in the larger pot will heat up the THC in the marijuana in the the smaller pot with out burning it which could destroy the THC, making the brownies useless.

I am now looking at a magazine that I plan to read this week while flying on an airplane. Will this pose as a threat too? What on earth is going on here? We want our kids to be the best they can be and to get the best education they possibly can, and then we tell them books are not appropriate on a school bus. I read a lot of books through the years while riding the school bus to and from school. I don't recall that myself or others were ever injured from an actual book. I do recall kids being injured from the fist of another student on the bus, which brings me to the point. Where does this stop? To the best of my knowledge, the fists of kids will always accompany a student on a school bus. With 77 students to monitor (some less, some more) a bus driver has his hands full. A book in hand sounds like a reasonable way to keep kids occupied.
Parents are seriously caught in the middle of all of this chaos. They don't dare let their kids walk 100 feet from them or they fear a police officer will intervene. When my boys were younger, I would often give them money to order their own food at a fast food restaurant. I would step back and let them go ahead to order. This taught them how to talk to other people and exchange money in a store setting. They also quickly learned to speak up for a "special order" or how to engage in a positive way, if the order was incorrect. Looking back at this, in today's world, someone would have probably called the police on my boys as their Mom was not right next to them.
I am all about technology in the classroom, but I fear that this no book rule on the school bus will lead to more cyberbullying and issues in general on the school bus. Does your school district have a rule about kids reading actual books on the school bus? If so, I'd love to hear about it. After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

In Australia, the two official birthday of the Queen. Most Australians celebrate it on the second Monday of June. However, residents of the State of Western Australia prefer to celebrate it every year in the nearest 30 September Monday.
In fact, Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born April 21 in 1926. It was not the first British monarch, who moved the celebration of his birthday on more resembling — sunny and warm (which is very important for the UK) — the time. More Edward VII in the early 20th century, decided to celebrate his birthday in the summer instead of November. Australians are also preferred in June, simply because the present Queen's birthday is close to the next big holiday of the country on April 25 — Day of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC Day — Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). Two official days off during the week? For Australia, it's a lot.
Australia is not directly dependent on the British Crown (Parliament ratified the Statute of Westminster, which gives full legal freedom in 1942). At the same time, the country is a member of the Commonwealth, which includes almost all of the former British colony. These countries have so far considered their monarch Queen Elizabeth II. In the absence of sovereign interests of the Crown in Australia is the Governor-General.
Today, Queen Elizabeth II — the most traveling monarch in the world. During his reign, she has made more than 250 foreign visits, including 15 visits to Australia. And each time to welcome thousands of people flock to it.
For a long time on the Queen's birthday celebrated with a big colorful fireworks. Now it has become a Christmas tradition. Canberra — the only place on the Queen's birthday you can buy (and see) fireworks.
Australia Post each year issues new stamps dedicated to this day.
There is still an ongoing debate about the need for "the royal presence." Last referendum on the abolition of the monarchy as a symbol of the state in 1999 was defeated. Despite the continuing debate, Australians still celebrate the Queen's birthday and still enjoy life.

The karst limestone hills of northern Vietnam and southern China are home to a diverse array of unique wildlife. For over a decade, FFI has been working to protect unique primate and conifer species in this highly threatened area.
The discovery in 2010 of two highly threatened magnolias in Vietnam (Magnolia coriacea, and M. grandis), as well as several other less threatened or un-assessed species, underlined the importance of the landscape for tree diversity.
The area is under intense pressure from agriculture, however, and there is very limited knowledge or skills locally for tree conservation.
Starting in late 2013, the Global Trees Campaign is supporting our partner, the Centre for Plant Conservation (CPC), to work at five key sites. Mirroring an approach taken in FFI's primate work, Community Tree Conservation Teams recruited from local villages are being set up at each site. These teams are involved in all project activities.
The Community Tree Conservation Teams and the local government Forest Department staff are receiving training in tree identification, monitoring, tree horticulture and planting out.
Surveys are being conducted at each site to locate and tag threatened trees. These trees will then be monitored regularly to increase their protection.
Interventions to promote tree growth and successful natural regeneration will be identified and implemented by the community teams.
Nurseries are being established to grow seedlings that will be planted out in degraded areas of forest, boosting numbers of these very rare trees.
The project team will also work in local communities to increase knowledge of, and pride in, these unique and very rare trees and raise awareness of the regulations about their protection.
Our aim is for these tree conservation activities to be integrated into the on-going work of the local Forest Department, securing the protection of these rare species into the future.

Register Here for our Career Fair,
this Wednesday at 5pm!
Whether it's a cooling or heating problem we have well-trained technicians to do the job right the first time.
Our Comfort Advisors will setup an in-home consultation and design the right system for your home.
Check our special offers page for coupons and rebates that will help you save money on HVAC services.
Whether you are building a new home or giving your old one an upgrade,
designing and installing an HVAC system tailored to your exact needs offers
many benefits. Today, there are a variety of choices when it comes to
selecting the home comfort system that provides the indoor air quality
you want with the efficiency you need. Keep reading to learn more about
just a few of the factors that should influence your decision when designing
the perfect HVAC system for your home. Working with an HVAC service expert
will provide the professional expertise you need to make your final decision
and install your new system properly.
Heating and Cooling Capacity
One of the major factors that will influence your final HVAC system purchase
is the heating and cooling capacity needed to provide comfort throughout
your home. An improperly-sized furnace or air conditioner won't deliver
the indoor comfort you want at the energy (or financial) cost you're
expecting. If your system isn't capable of providing enough heating
or cooling, your home will be too cold, too hot, or too humid. A system
that is too large won't function efficiently either, eating up excess
energy without delivering the indoor comfort you want. Determining the
system size you'll need will depend on a variety of factors, including
the square footage of your home, the type of insulation used in your home,
the ventilation system in place, and the number of doors and windows.
An HVAC expert can help you take all these factors into account to determine
the heating or cooling capacity your new system will need.
Heating and Cooling Type
When it comes to selecting the type of system you'd like, you have
many options to consider. Gas- and oil-powered furnaces are the most common
type of furnace in use today; if your previous furnace used gas or oil,
replacing it with a similar model may be the most convenient option. Air
conditioners are available as centralized systems (including split systems)
or individual room and window units. Ductless mini-split systems marry
these two concepts, offering single-room temperature control while utilizing
a single outdoor unit for cooling. Alternatively, air-source and geothermal
heat pumps offer both heating and cooling for your home.
Heat pumps are very energy efficient; however, heat pumps are not practical for heating
your home when temperatures fall to freezing or below. If you are concerned
about sufficient heating in the winter, a hybrid system utilizes both
a heat pump and a traditional furnace to ensure your home stays cozy even
when the temperature drops below freezing. Although not as common in new
homes today, boilers are another heating option to consider. Heating via
boiler typically uses radiators or sub-floor radiant heating pipes to
transfer heat from your boiler into your home for comfort.
Customizing your home's HVAC system from the ground up will ensure
you enjoy both maximum comfort and energy savings. You'll find plenty
more information about your heating and cooling options in Columbus when
you click through our comprehensive
website. Would you like to learn even more about the benefits of upgrading your

Air Conditioning Repair, Installation, and Maintenance in Gloucester, New Jersey
We live in Gloucester County, NJ, and if you've been here even one summer, you know how brutally hot it can be. A good air conditioner is your first and best defense against the heat: keeping your home cool and comfortable no matter how high the temperatures get. But that involves a fair amount of planning and preparation, as well as regular servicing from a qualified representative. Careful maintenance and timely repairs mean that your system will always function when you need it to, and won't let you down just when the biggest heat wave of the year hits.
At Ambient Comfort LLC, we provide a full array of air conditioning services, including air conditioning repair in South Jersey counties: Gloucester, Salem, Camden, Cumberland, Atlantic, and Burlington.We do installation and replacement, and all of the steps in between.
We know that your need for a system to function as expected every time is of the utmost importance, and not to cost you an arm and a leg in monthly bills in the process. As the leading local air conditioning contractors, we're devoted to providing the best air conditioning services in the area, so give us a call today or fill out our quick and easy form to schedule air conditioning services, whether you're in Gloucester County or the surrounding counties.
Air Conditioning Installation Service
Air conditioners get put to the test on a daily basis during our Gloucester County summers. Preparing for that means ensuring a top–notch installation (or replacement service if you're replacing an old system). It actually begins earlier than that, when you first meet with an Ambient Comfort technician to determine your power load, efficiency rating, and other key factors for a system within your budget.
Once that's in place, we can perform a proper installation or replacement, ensuring that everything is put together the right way. That way, you won't suffer any problems out of the gate caused by loose fittings, poorly fitted ductwork, and the like. With a good beginning, you can get the first of many years of quality air conditioning off on the right foot.
At Ambient Comfort LLC, we offer services including installation, repair, and maintenance on a number of different air conditioning systems including:
- Central Air Conditioners
- Ductless Air Conditioners
- Geothermal Cooling Systems
- Heat Pumps
- Thermostats
- Zone Control Systems
Call us today to schedule air conditioning repair and other services in South Jersey and beyond. We offer exceptional AC services.
We Service High Velocity Air Conditioning, Too
In addition to traditional centralized air conditioners and ductless air conditioners, our team specializes in high velocity air conditioners. These systems use smaller ducts and air moving at higher speeds than traditional air conditioners. It can be more energy efficient in many cases, and can also reduce the space taken up by the ducts (which can be a big issue in an older home that isn't set up for air conditioning).
High velocity air conditioning requires the same technical expertise you'd expect in any other air conditioning, with an eye on the system's unique layout and problems. We have experts on our team who can repair and maintain high velocity systems, as well as perform installation and replacement services when the time comes to put a new system in. Call us today to find out more!
We'll Help You Phase Out R–22
Air conditioners rely on refrigerant to do their job, and yours requires a specific type of refrigerant in a specific amount if it's going to do its job. Many older units used a type of refrigerant called R–22, which is slowly being phased out in favor of more environmentally–friendly types of refrigerant. If your system uses R–22, we can help you with the phase out: replacing your system with a new one that uses a more commonly available refrigerant. Otherwise, you may find your existing unit costing more and more to operate, as R–22 becomes increasingly scarce and expensive. Trust us to guide you through the process and get your air conditioner replaced with a new one today!
Call Us for AC Repair
No one likes to think about getting repairs for their air conditioner, but sometimes it happens. Summers in New Jersey counties are brutal and even the most well–maintained system can crack until the strain. The sooner you spot the problem signs, the swifter and less problematic the repairs tend to be.
Look for any signs of abnormal operation, including weird noises, higher–than–expected bills, a lack of cool air, or low airflow. Don't delay once you spot them. Turn your system off and call in a NATE Certified technician from Ambient Comfort. That keeps the damage from becoming worse and might also save you money in the repair costs.
Stop the Need for Repairs with Good Air Conditioning Maintenance
At Ambient Comfort LLC, we're happy to provide quality air conditioning repairs when and where you need it, whether that's in Gloucester, Camden, Atlantic, or Burlington counties, or anyplaceelse in South Jersey.But we also believe that an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. Yearly maintenance sessions, conducted at the beginning of cooling season, can help reduce the effects of wear and tear. When applied regularly over time, it not only lowers your bills, but can extend the life of your system accordingly.
It also lets the technician spot big problems before they start, and plan for repairs at leisure instead of rushing to fix the problem after the air conditioner breaks down. Contact us today and let us show you what an annual maintenance session can do.
Schedule Air Conditioning Services
Whether you need AC repair or are looking to install a new air conditioner in your Gloucester County home and beyond, Ambient Comfort LLC is the HVAC company to call. We offer high quality air conditioning installation, repair and maintenance services. Call us today to schedule air conditioning services.

|How to prepare the soil to a Vegetable Garden?
Thank you
|It's always a good idea to add organic matter to any garden soil. Organic matter improves drainage on heavy soils, and helps water-holding capacity on sandy soils. I start by spreading 4-5 inches of organic matter over the top of the soil and digging it in to a depth of 8-10 inches. Incorporating compost, shredded leaves, grass clippings, well-rotted manure, or other organic matter directly into the soil when you first turn it over in the spring. (Wait a few weeks to plant if you use non-composted additions.) Then throughout the season, use grass clippings or shredded leaves as a mulch--it will keep down weeds and add even more organic matter. After preparing the soil, plant your seeds or seedlings. To suppress weeds you might want to place a thick layer of organic mulch over the bare soil. Good luck with your new adventure!

Direct Field Strength Measurements
03 April 2015 – With the "Antenna Control" option the new generation of NRA RX 19" Remote Analyzers from Narda Safety Test Solutions automatically detect and take into account the calibration data of Narda's own brand of antennas and RF cables, so monitoring and safety measurements in electromagnetic fields can now also be made without the need for conversion calculations.
Users can make use of any directional antenna in the Narda Test range. The compass data from the antennas can be retrieved by the NRA RX to get the direction information. It is also possible to use e.g. the three-axis antennas from the Narda Safety range in the same way, so that the electromagnetic field can be monitored isotropically (non-directionally). This allows direct measurements for human and environmental safety to be made.
Users can generate the appropriate data sets with calibration and correction values for antennas and cables from other manufacturers using the "NRA-Tools" PC software.
The "Antenna Control" option is available now.
The NRA RX family
Depending on the device type, Narda Remote Analyzers cover a frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz with resolution bandwidths from 10 Hz up to 32 MHz. They can be integrated into practically any test and monitoring environment thanks to the Ethernet interface (100BASE-TX) and plain text remote control commands in ASCII.
Rapid transmission of large quantities of data is possible in binary format. The application-oriented operating modes are: spectrum analysis (Spectrum), parallel power measurement in different channels (Multi-Channel Power), measurement of RMS and peak levels (Level Meter) and capturing the time characteristic of a signal (Scope and I/Q Data).
All NRA RX devices are 1U (height unit) high and weigh less than five kilos. The power consumption of less than 20 VA means that they operate silently, without the need of forced ventilation. They are therefore ideal for use in mobile systems or in confined spaces.

Earth Works
Scott Russell Sanders
Indiana University Press, 2012
"I am sometimes asked if I am a 'nature' writer," Scott Russell Sanders writes in the preface to his newest book, "as if paying attention to our membership in the web of life were a specialized interest, like following sports or fashion or cuisine. What I am is an Earth writer: I'm interested in life on this planet—all life." Labels notwithstanding, when an essayist as impassioned as Sanders publishes a new book, people usually take note. The aptly titled Earth Works is the latest from the award-winning writer and indeed features several classic and uncollected essays built around the concept of place—and in particular, the natural world.
Throughout his writing career, Sanders has published eleven books of non-fiction and eight books of fiction. He and his wife currently reside in Bloomington, Indiana. As place is one of the common themes in his non-fiction work, his essays often focus on the land itself, or on the various aspects of community and family that have permeated life in his various hometowns.
Clocking in at nearly four hundred pages, Earth Works is a pretty handy tome for a nature-lover's home library, as it includes many of Sanders' best-known essays, such as "Buckeye" and "Staying Put." Yet even if you are not a member of Greenpeace with a few environmental protests on your résumé, perhaps you consider yourself to be a reflective thinker when it comes to the big questions in life: how to relate to the opposite sex ("Looking at Women" and "The Men We Carry In Our Minds"), for example, or how to talk to your angsty teenage son ("Mountain Music") and foster male bonding through a game of catch (which is a "dialogue carried on with muscle and bone," as Sanders writes in "Reasons of the Body"), how to observe one's patriotic and moral duties as an alternate juror ("Doing Time in the Thirteenth Chair"), or even how to navigate your father's alcoholism with the kind of grace and candor that comes only with hindsight ("Under the Influence"). Earth Works remains a thing of substance for readers who want to consider the intricacies of our social networks and family dynamics, in addition to the larger implications of our current environmental climate and responsibilities to the planet. Sanders has been considering such weighty family and community-oriented issues throughout his long writing career, and he is very good at it.
"Buckeye," a piece that is perhaps most representative of the reflective tone and natural setting that appears in this collection, also happens to be one of my favorite essays in Earth Works. As a reflection on the legacy of his father, Sanders introduces the essay with a description of the pair of buckeyes that keep residence on his desk—brown seeds that his father was known for keeping in his pocket for years before his death. In a flashback scene, Sanders' father instructs him as a child about the trees that would become such an important part of his life later on:
'[T]he old-timers called it stinking buckeye,' he told me. …You see where it got its name?' he asked.
I saw: what gleamed in my hand was the eye of a deer, bright with life. 'It's beautiful,' I said.
'It's beautiful,' my father agreed, 'but also poisonous. Nobody eats buckeye, except maybe a fool squirrel.'
The portrait of this father—revealed through his quirky habits and colloquial speech—and of his son's love is so beautifully drawn that it even sustains the surprising conclusion, in which Sanders admits that he once saw a hawk in the sky that reminded him of his father. Not just reminded him, I should say, but seemed to be his father: "The voice of my education told me then and tells me now that I did not meet my father, that I merely projected my longing onto a bird…yet nothing I heard in school, nothing I've read, no lesson reached by logic has ever convinced me as utterly or stirred me as deeply as did that red-tailed hawk." He does his level best to convince the reader of his own conviction in this spiritual experience, and though it is for each reader to judge, I found his conclusions to be powerful ones.
"Under the Influence," one of Sanders' best-known works, first appeared in Harper's Magazine in 1989 and offers a different portrait—that of a childhood profoundly disturbed by his father's heavy drinking. "My father drank," it begins. "He drank like a gut-punched boxer gasps for breath, as a starving dog gobbles food—compulsively, secretly, in pain and trembling." Here, Sanders explores the physical symptoms of his father's addiction, the shame that kept him separated from his religious Ohio community, and his own road to forgiveness and acceptance. He confides in his Acknowledgments: "I wanted to record what it felt like to be the child of an alcoholic while placing that experience within larger cultural and social contexts." Thus, while looking back to his childhood, Sanders employs a youthful perspective for much of the piece, explaining his grudge against the winemakers, "whose faces shone from the labels of their wine," for their poisoning of his father's body and mind: "I noted the Gallo brothers' address, in California, and I studied the road atlas to see how far that was from Ohio, because I meant to go out there and tell Ernest and Julio what they were doing to my father, and then, if they showed no mercy, I would kill them." "Under the Influence" reveals the author's struggle with the overwhelming emotions caused by the shameful family secrecy that bound him as a child, making him an accomplice to his father's addiction—and yet, Sanders is clearly writing from a place of acceptance instead of bitterness, a distinction that makes the piece all the more powerful. "I hope it is clear," he writes in the Acknowledgments, "that I do not regard myself as a victim of my father's illness. His illness affected me, along with my entire family, but the healthy rest of him shaped me more profoundly."
In Sanders' best essays, there is a mix of the meditative and the spiritually-minded. While those who are not inclined to love the earth as he does may at times find his reasoning to be dogmatic,the spirited nature of his explorations and his willingness to ask the hard, human questions about life and to share his struggle with their answers on the page more than compensate for any intermittent issues of tone.
Among the thirty essays it contains, Earth Works offers a thought-provoking mix of old and new. The nine new pieces included in the back of Earth Works—in this case, "new" means unpublished in any of Sanders' other books, though all have appeared in print elsewhere—are themselves worth the sticker price. Its catalog of well-chosen selections spans the many decades of its author's inspiring career and reveals what appear to be Sanders' twin passions in life: ruminating on life's meatiest conundrums and delighting in the bit of the earth that rises up to meet him, wherever he might stand.
